Cost of Storage in Gatineau, QC

The cost of storage solutions is influenced by several factors, including size, location, and features. Larger units naturally cost more than smaller ones, and units located in city centers may be priced higher than those on the outskirts. Special amenities like climate control or premium access can also impact the rental price.

For an effective price comparison, it’s crucial to first identify the appropriate unit size. Continue reading to learn how to determine the best match for your storage needs.

Choosing the Right Storage Unit Size

Choosing the right size and type for your mini-storage unit is key to ensure it can adequately accommodate your belongings. To better define your specific needs, consider these questions:

• What will I be storing? Identify the types and quantities of items you plan to store. Take measurements of large or awkwardly shaped items to gauge the space they’ll need, particularly if they can’t be easily disassembled.
• Will I require frequent access to my storage unit? If you need regular access to your stored items, opt for a ground floor unit or one with drive-up access for optimal convenience.
• Do any of my items have temperature or humidity sensitivities? If you possess items that could be damaged by moisture or drastic temperature fluctuations, consider a climate-controlled or temperature-regulated unit.
• How effectively can I pack and stack my belongings? Take advantage of vertical space for stacking and disassemble your items where possible to maximize storage capacity. Store things inside, underneath, or on top of larger ones to expand the usable area.
• Will I be needing additional storage space in the future? If you anticipate storing more items down the line, it might be beneficial to select a larger unit from the start. This allows room for growth without the hassle of transferring everything to a different unit later.
• Can I leverage vertical space? Use freestanding shelving units and stackable bins or boxes to make the most of your unit’s space and keep things organized.

Once you’ve clarified your storage requirements, our size guide provides details of size dimensions and examples of how to use different unit sizes, which can help you identify the best storage solution for your needs.

The Types of Storage Unit Sizes Available

We provide a variety of self-storage unit sizes to cater to your  requirements:

• 5’x5′ (25 sq ft): Roughly the size of a large closet, this unit is most ideal for storing a limited number of items, such as 15 moving boxes, small furniture items, twin-sized mattress sets, small appliances, or seasonal clothing, accessories, and decor.
• 5’x10′ (50 sq ft): About the size of a walk-in closet, this unit works well for the contents of a small one-bedroom or studio apartment, including a sofa, queen mattress set, small dining room set, TVs and electronics, bicycles or scooter, sports equipment, and up to 25 boxes.
• 10’x’10’ (100 sq ft): This size is about half the size of a garage. It provides ample space for the contents of a one- or two-bedroom apartment, including major kitchen appliances, king-sized mattress set, garden and lawn care equipment, bulky seasonal items like patio furniture and tires, and 50 boxes.
• 10’x’15’ (150 sq ft): Almost the size of one-car garage, this unit size accommodates the furnishings from a two- or three-bedroom apartment, including up to 80 boxes, several large appliances, exercise equipment or home gym, home entertainment centre, bicycles or a scooter, and small recreational vehicles like ATVs.
• 10’x20′ (200 sq ft): This size gives you approximately the same amount of space as a standard garage, making it suitable to store the contents of a three- or four-bedroom apartment or house, including over 100 moving boxes, all major appliances, a home office, or a passenger vehicle.
• 10’x25′ (250 sq ft): Being slightly larger than a one-car garage, this size provides ample space for the contents of a three or four-bedroom house, upwards of 100 moving boxes, office furniture, commercial tools and equipment, and/or a full-size passenger vehicle.
• 10’x30′ (300 sq ft): The largest storage unit size, similar to a two-car garage in capacity, offers enough space for the contents of a four or five-bedroom house, well over 150 boxes, business inventory, canoes or kayaks, a boat on a trailer, passenger vehicle or light duty truck.

To determine the best unit size for your needs, take into account not only the number of items you need to store, but their dimensions as well.
